#28 - When everything falls apart: Sense Making in Times of Absolute Chaos | Ex-VP Mozilla Robin Karakash

In Episode 28 of Besser werden, we welcome Robin Karakash. Former
VP of Mozilla Firefox and awarded global Marketer of the Year,
his winning face displayed on Times Square at the peak of his
career. From the outside, it looked like a linear success story.
Upwards. Visible. Celebrated.





Until everything broke.





A brain tumor.





He returned to work, rebuilt momentum, and reached another peak.
Then a corporate restructure disrupted his narrative again.





Today, Robin is strategic narrative advisor and coach working on
systemic clarity in times of disruption. His own story mirrors
what many of us are living through.


We are in one of the most destabilizing periods of our
generation. Trust is eroding. Facts blur into noise. Technology
accelerates. Many people feel less safe. Orientation becomes
harder to find. And still, we perform as if the ground were
stable.





The elephants are in the room. We see them. We feel them. Yet we
rarely have the courage or the language to name them.


This episode dares to name them.





It explores what anchors you when external certainty collapses.
What happens when the story that carried you no longer fits. How
to find clarity when progress turns into a zigzag. And what it
means to own your narrative when titles fall away and systems
feel unstable.





When the structures around you shift, who are you without them?
And how do you rebuild trust from within, in a world that keeps
moving?
